Greta, what do you do about mean girls? You have such a positive outlook all the time. You never let people phase you. You just wish them well and continue being a strong and lovely presence in the world. I'd like to learn how to not care about others negative opinions in that way. How do you handle those people the way you do?
Oh trust me, I just dealt with this subject not too long ago. Girls can be so caddy and fake, but it’s because a lot of girls these days are all about their ego and aren’t in touch with their authentic selves and they don’t even know how to be their true self. I want to get into this a little bit, because I’ve been asked similar things to this a lot lately. Especially about “friends” who are mean girls. Honestly, finding friends has been one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to go through especially in Southern California where people can be very superficial and egotistical. When I first moved down here I was alone 24/7, and about a year ago I started to make friends with a group of girls, but honestly the more time I spent with them the more I realized how different we are. Some people just aren’t awake. They don’t understand ego or how not to be surfacy because they haven’t learned how conscious they can be yet. It’s important to be around people who bring out the best in you, and who constantly make you want to be better. The girls I was surrounded with only encouraged me to feed my ego, and didn’t encourage me to feed my soul. And enemies or “mean girls” in general do that. First, whenever anyone does me wrong, I draw the line right there. I used to give people a million chances, and I used to make excuses for people walking all over me. I’m not like that anymore, because I value myself and I realized that’s not fair to me. One of the most incredible lessons I’ve learned is “When people show you their true colors don’t paint a different picture of them.” It is so easy to make up excuses for why people treat others/us badly. But we shouldn’t! I’ve learned to sit back and watch people’s actions and the way they treat others, because that will tell more about them than anything they say. Maya Angelou said “When people show you who they are, believe them.” Someone can say, “I’m a nice girl, I’m loving, I’m kind.” but if the next second they’re making fun of a girl, or being rude to a waiter, or treating their parents with disrespect, then what does it matter what they say? They are showing their character by the way they are acting, by their actions. And if they can treat others like that, who’s to say they won’t treat you like that? Maya Angelou also talked about how deep inside our souls is a place that we must keep “clean and pristine” because “perhaps that is where we meet God”. She basically is saying to know your worth, and that you are a child of God,and to not let anyone mess with you. When someone is mean to me, I say “No, I won’t allow you to treat me this way.” And then I move on. When someone says something rude to me or says something about me that isn’t true, I simply say, “I won’t accept that.” Girls that I’ve had to let go in the past have said, “Oh, you handle things too harshly. You just cut people off.” or so forth. Nope. You know what’s harsh? Letting someone treat you with disrespect over and over again, letting people take advantage of you, allowing people to walk all over your soul and your good intentions and who you are. At the end of the day, I know I’m a good person. I treat others the way I would like to be treated. I go out of my way for others. I would never do something with a bad intention. I care. And the people who appreciate me and have that same respect towards me will be welcomed into my life, and those who don’t, will be cut off. You don’t have to argue, or be rude, or fight, or call names. You don’t need to talk shit. You simply cut them off from your energy, wish them well, and move on. I believe in being kind and loving but at the same time I know being authentic and soulful also means not allowing people to ruin all the hard work you’ve done to get to that place. Your soul is sacred, don’t give energy to anyone who doesn’t honor that! I’m now alone a lot but also spend my time with a few quality, soulful, loving people who I adore. Hold out for the good ones! xxx

Welcome summer in with this fabulous recipe from Isa Chandra Moskowitz’s Isa Does It!
Island Black Bean Burgers with Nectarine Salsa Makes 8 burgers Total time: 45 minutes Active time: 20 minutes Who doesn’t love a black bean burger? Here I’ve gone with a little Caribbean twist—not just frijoles negros (that’s black beans to you), but black-eyed peas, too. And instead of the usual cumin and friends, I use a healthy dose of Jamaican curry powder. Topped with a sweet nectarine salsa, this tastes like a fabulous island vacay. Unless you already live on a beautiful tropical island, in which case it tastes like home.
I love that these come together in the mixing bowl without any need for sautéing the ingredients first, so they’re great for anytime, anywhere. The nectarine salsa is the perfect sweet note here, and you don’t even have to peel the fruit since the skin isn’t fuzzy like a peach. Or use peaches if you like fuzzy salsa. For the burgers: 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained (1 ½ cups) 1 (15-ounce) can black-eyed peas, rinsed and drained (1 ½ cups) ½ cup finely chopped red bell pepper 1 cup finely chopped scallions 3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons Jamaican curry powder 1 teaspoon salt ¼ cup vegetable broth 2 teaspoons fresh lime juice 1 cup panko bread crumbs
For the Nectarine Salsa: 2 nectarines, diced into ¼-inch pieces ¼ cup finely diced red onion 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice 1 jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped 1 teaspoon agave nectar Olive oil, for spraying or brushing the pan 8 burger buns
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Prepare the burgers: In a medium bowl, use a small potato masher (or a strong fork) to mash the black beans and black-eyed peas. They should be good and mushy but not totally puréed, with a few beans still identifiable in the mix.
Add the red pepper, scallions, cilantro, curry powder, salt, broth, and lime juice and mix well. Mix in the panko until it all holds together. Refrigerate for 10 minutes or so, or until the salsa is ready. Prepare the salsa: Simply mix everything together in a bowl! Cook the burgers: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray or brush with oil. Form the burger mixture into 8 patties that are about 1 inch thick. Spray or brush with a little more oil and bake for 15 minutes. Flip the burgers and bake for 12 to 15 more minutes, until nicely browned.
Stuff each burger into a bun and top with salsa. Serve away! Notes:
This recipe halves well! Using only one kind of bean is probably your best bet if you’re halving it, and I think regular black beans work better solo.
If you don’t feel like making the salsa (even though it’s so easy!), then you can just slice up a couple pieces of mango, nectarine, or pineapple. I love the sweetness here, so I’d say go that route instead of plain old ketchup, but hey, a little ketchup never hurt anyone.
Variation: If you want a more traditional, straight-up black bean burger, no problemo. Use all black beans instead of the black-eyed peas. Instead of the Jamaican curry powder, use 1 tablespoon mild chili powder and 1 teaspoon of cumin. You can top with store-bought salsa if you’re feelin’ lazy, or a simple pico de gallo and chopped avocado.
